Just putting it out there to the universe for our July boy swayers!!!
TTC5- how are you doing?
i am officially TTC in July. I am feeling very rushed but we only have couple of months and after that we will be away with work schedules and it will be end of the year before we get another chance. I want to make best out of this month on the diet and give a try....
Breakfast - i love cereal....i can eat all day every day...but i am not sure if i believe in having milk every day for boy diet and i dont know how to eat my cereal without it....any ideas for breakfast? I am not avoiding calcium but just trying to avoid dairy whenever possible....
Meat - I read an article about alkaline diet and meat is on the highly acidic food list.Why are we adding this to boy diet?I am confused. Like lemon, acidic outside and alakaline inside the body, meat is very acidic inside the body but alkaline outside. This is another food that i am not sure if i should keep it in the list.
i am adding more lemon, bananas, potatos to the diet along with some more protien like eggs,chicken,fish. I am not a heavy meat eater but i do eat once a week.
IMO have that milk - full cream! I started off swaying with almond or oat milk but soon swapped to full dairy!
I used almond milk occasionally in my cereal, And I also ate meat everyday and steak once or twice a week
I think having full cream milk is good for ttc boy, because the cream is alkaline.
Meat is a very important in ttc blue, cannot be avoided at all because of all the testosterone and the growth hormones of red meat which absolutely sways blue. You can eat it cold if you are too worried about it being acidic and soak it in salt water for 2 hours at least before cooking to add all that positive ions. GL
The acid/alkaline diet DOES NOT WORK - it is impossible that it alters the pH of your blood in any way because if it did, you would die. your body keeps very tight control over your pH and you can read more about it (from a doctor) here. Acid/Alkaline Theory of Disease Is Nonsense And my take on pH in general with a bit about the acid-alkaline diet is here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ph-pickle.html
The point of the meat is raising testosterone and building muscle mass, and there is 10 zillion times better data that testosterone/muscle sways than any gibberish about acid/alkaline diets. pH may help slightly but that's what Preseed is for. Your diet is NOT making your body acidic or alkaline because if it was, you'd be DEAD.
I PROMISE you as God is my witness, it is totally possible to get boys drinking huge amounts of milk and eating tons of dairy every day. I've done it 4 times and so have several others on here, many of whom cut out calcium all together and then went onto conceive girls. Quite a few of the blue sways that failed were people who had cut out milk all together. If you're still not comfortable with that, there are many milk substitutes that you can read about here. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...pink-blue.html
I have a question about potassium supplement,I have just bought Potassium chloride bp600mg, is it the same as the potassium supplement for ttc blue? and if so then how many should I take per day?
It is completely possible to be vegetarain or even vegan and have boys. You need protein, healthy fats, and nutrients and meat is a great source of those things, but if a person doesn't want to eat meat, they can simply focus on getting protein, healthy fat, and nutrients in other ways.
Food temperature has nothing to do with the gender of the baby you conceive.
Please be SANE with sodium, ladies. It's not good for your health or your fertility and one study even showed that rats fed high sodium intake had more GIRLS, not more boys. I strongly urge you to eat no more than 4000 mg a day.
Ions cannot sway gender because X and Y sperm do not have different electrical charges and cannot be attracted or repelled by ions in CM, newer research with modern technology completely debunked that idea. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/scie...m-y-sperm.html
Oh thanks Atomic for clearing my misconceptions....just would like to be very clear that acidic and alkaline diets if does not alter the cm ph then why do we have different ph during ovulation...like this cycle I had cm ph of 6 and last cycle I had a cm ph of 4...what causes this huge difference..? and thanks God that the ionic concept is no more...cos it always used to get me so confused...
I know that it is best to get all the potassium from food but still to cover the missed portions I would like to take the supplements.Is potassium chloride 600mg is ok?
It's probable that hormones are making your CM thicker or drier and the natural pH of your vagina is then making you appear more acidic.
I would only take that much K unless under the advice and monitoring of a doctor. It's probably fine, but potassium can kill you.
The problem is that it's not known to be safe for pregnancy, so you have to start it and stop it suddenly at ovulation which is not safe.
Can you drink a coconut water instead? It has 600 mg potassium in it and it's in a form that your body can handle more easily - you can keep drinking it in pregnancy.
Thanks Atomic. I started this PH when i first found about the swaying on the other site...I have a bag of garbage with Hanna machine and solutions for PH. Great to hear that i can give up all that and focus on diet. Thank you for the links they are very helpful.
Just to say good luck to all in July
I drank coconut water everyday ate bananas and kiwi and other foods and I'm having a boy and I didn't take the potassium supplement.
Good luck to all you TTC BLUE. You can have ALL of my blue dust. I don't need it anymore after my 7 sons..... :D
just posting so I can find this easily on my phone, will catch up soon ladies!
I have left the idea of taking potassium supplements. For covering it I have started taking 2 bananas, 1 fresh coconut water, and also started adding a handful of raisins and some almonds in the morning oats...is it sufficient .....?
Nettle tea is super high in potassium too!!
Concentrate on eating the most healthy foods you can with lots of nutrients! I would skip the potassium pills, too.
Hey ladies, im just popping in to let you all know i had spotting last night after DTD so AF will be here today or tomorrow right on schedule. I am kind of becoming more obsessed with my weightloss goals now, and will be taking a break from TTC. Well not really preventing pregnancy, but im not going to be charting and all that stuff for a few months. I will check in with you all occasionally, i just feel like i have to clear my head a bit, i cant just keep doing the same things over and over every month with no result :(
Cinss - you took the words right out of my mouth, and it would seem that this is a common feeling given some of the recent posts! makes me feel better to know I am not alone. I too have decided to shift my focus after 4 months of BFN's (and yeeeees - I know -- that is not long to try at all!) but I am literally piling on the weight and feeling like TTC blue is taking over my mind! On a very personal note, I am even starting to feel a little guilty about how I am not being 100% focussed on & enjoying my beautiful gals alot of the time becuase I am constantly distracted by what I should be eating, drinking and doing...
so I am going to concentrate on getting to a healthy, toned state again, where I feel good about myself, enjoy my beauties and then, if it feels right, we will try later tc.
Good luck to all you TTC blue's in July! I hope to see lots of BFP's whenever I log on!!!
TTC5 & Dloui - I pray that all goes well for you guys over the remainig months for your blue pregnancies! And Bec - can't wait to hear if blue, but above all that - hope you have a HHP!! will definitely be logging on to see all your updates!
:-)
Babyblessings and Cinss sorry to hear you will not be on the thread so often, hope you keep checking it as I have only recently discovered it over the past few months and think it's a great support mechanism I have had helpful comments from so many. I hope you enjoy a bit of time out and do not forget about us! I understand for all it can become a strong focus and a bit too stressful, I hope you achieve your dreams.
Cinss and babyblessings - Hopefully a beak will workout in your favor for a relaxed sway.
I am not really tracking my cycles as we had no plans for TTC for few more months. When i was tracking last year, the +OPKs are all over the chart. It is mainly due to Royal Jelly/Bee Pollen. My O was delayed for few days and the cycles became longer. I stopped after that. Did anyone had issues with RY/BP? Since i am not charting i do not want to mess my cycles..
Atomic- I just noticed your signature, you are expecting a baby girl-- congratulations!!! Were you not swaying for a boy? Did you post your sway for us?
Cinss and baby blessings, I am popping in to tell you both that I hope you get to a place where you feel better about TTC, and that you will be back with BFPs before long. :hugs:
Hi all. How early can you test? Could not resist today - day 24 of cycle length c.30-31 days and BPN - is that too early for there to be any sign?
Good luck to everyone TTC this month and best wishes to Cinss, baby blessings and POP I hope the break gives you time to recharge and :fingers: that it leads to BFPs in the future.
I am currently on day 14 of my first cycle off the pill and no sign of any EWCM. But I am also only on day 8 of taking my supps so I am hoping to see a big improvement next cycle.
Hi chitchat, I think it may have been too early to test as if you have a 14day LP then you would only be on day 7 post ov and it is usually 11-12 days after ov that the tests work.
GL BB and Cinss,
great idea to clear your head/body for a bit.
i am not planning to start ttc until sept., but the last few weeks dh has said he is not sure whether he wants to have another so I may be done before even starting. i def. don't want to if he doesn't, but then he also feels bad for me. it's like we both don't want the other to resent the other. I would get to be okay though because we are so blessed to have 1 boy and 3 girls and they are such joys. we'll see what happens, still waiting for AF to return anyway.
We are on a very slow internet during the summer(dial up), so can't really be on here much anyway so I am wishing all you ladies incredible blue dust!!
Pearl, when are you officially ttcing? next month? i know you were the other vegetarian. ttcing boy.
How are you doing with protein? I am still trying to eat healthier anyway just in case we do still ttc and include more protein and eat more frequently throughout the day, but def. find that and trying to get 30g is hard.
I am having a hard boiled egg in the am, then 1-2 pieces of fruit and then maybe some raisins/peanuts or a pice of homemade granola.
Then lunch at 2-3pm which is chips, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, some cheese and avocado or a veggie burger(no more than 2x/week trying to keep soy down)
dinner is usually cereal with banana or yogurt, banana and peanut butter
Chit Chat - try give it a few more days if you can ;)
Hi n710,
I will be TTC at the end of Sept/beginning of October ( if my cycles go back to being 26 days) I think I ov'ed 2 days ago as had the middlesmertz for about 1hr and my libedo came roaring back. poor DH doesn't know what hit him :wink:
I have no problem getting my protein up to the 70-90g mark. Which is a big improvement for me
When i get up first I have a homemade protein bar (I can post the recipe if you like) with a cup of OJ 15g
then in work at about 10am I have 50g homemade muesli with whole super milk and a chopped banana 13g
I keep 1oz of nuts on my desk that I pick at through out the day 7g protein I also have berries or sliced pineapple here too.
At 1 pm for lunch today i am having leftovers of spicy rice and a hard boiled egg 22g
At about 3.30pm I will have an afternoon snack of cottage cheese on rye with sliced tomato and coconut water 7g
Dinner this evening is a tofu stirfry with hoisin sauce and wholewheat noodles 20g with some mango frozen yogurt 3g
my pre bed snack hot chocolate with 2 dr kargs crispbreads 11g
Todays total 91g protein in about 2200 calories
I plan out all my meals at the weekend to make sure that I eat enough protein and veg without going overbord on the calories. I find this really helps.
